I noticed that at one point too. I emailed them asking if the diet was easily adaptable to being gluten-free. The response I got was that it wasn't a gluten-free diet and that it wasn't designed to be gluten-free.

I would think that once you get to the point where you're comfortable with the gluten-free diet, and adapting things, you could pretty much adapt anything to be gluten-free.

But, if you're just getting started on the gluten-free diet, I wouldn't think that it would be a good place to start. You may end up eating things that aren't safe, not being aware that there may be hidden gluten.

If you're just getting started on the gluten-free diet and are wanting to lose weight, you may want to just not worry about the weight for a while. Your body may readjust itself. I ended up losing 30 pounds over the course of about a year. No other effort except the gluten-free diet. It just fell off. It was about 3-4 months after I started eating gluten-free that I noticed that the weight loss I had started experiencing was staying gone. I wasn't fluctuating.

With the gluten-free diet, weight can go up, down, or stay the same, so I'm not saying that you WILL lose weight. Just that it's a possibility.

And doing the gluten-free diet has enough rules to get used to without adding more rules on top of it.

If you do decide to sign up for the ediets wheatfree program, let us know more about it. I'm really curious about it too. It may be pretty easy to adapt.

Thanks. I know you are right. There is so much to learn! I am feeling overwhelmed. I just cant stand my weight any longer. I have gained so much in the past couple of years. BUT even more disturbing is that I have a 12 month old and I weigh 20 pounds more than I did at my 8 week postpartum checkup!!! I cant figure my darn body out. I also have PCOS which causes weight gain. I just want to ensure that I wont be embarressed in my own pool this summer like last.

I think I am going to give it a shot. I will let you know.

with PCOS, as I understand it, you need to be careful with your carbohydrate intake, because the PCOS makes you insulin resistant and affects your blood sugar. a diet much more like what a hypoglycemic or even a diabetic eats (though calorie controlled for weight loss) in proportions of fat/protein/fiber/carbohydrates would be more beneficial (and might help with some of the symptoms).

      This Common Blood Pressure Drug Can Mimic Celiac Disease Symptoms

      Dang. I had a moment of hope that I could change my BP med and get off the gluten-free diet. Nope. More seriously, I hadn't seen this articles about this phenomenon before. This is one of the possible answers for people who post here about having celiac symptoms (including biopsy) but normal IgA levels, especially if they are saying that diet isn't helping...

      Zaalouk moroccan eggplant salad

      oops. I didn't see that before posting or I would have at least referenced it. The two recipes are pretty similar, but I think the newer one is a little simpler/faster. Next time though I will search more before posting.

      I was diagnosed with celiac 15 years ago.

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product...

I also did have implants ( I didn't know and sense not properly in my medical. Neither did surgeon)in 2006 and there was a leak 2023 during the same time I was dealing with covid, digestive issues, eyes and skin.Considering I " should  be fine" not consuming gluten/wheat, taking vitamins for sibo and STILL feeling terrible.It has to be parasites. I also take individual eye drops prescribed, could there be an issue there? Anyways my pcp thinks I need therapy because again they don't acknowledge my digestive issues because in my records it shows im fine, hintz the reason I had to go back to bay area hospital:(  I thought skin issues maybe sibo related but I feel and have seen and seriously trying not to think about it because it's disgusting.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This may not be the cause, it's pure speculation on my part, but for 10-15 years I had a tingling/burning/electric-like shock sensation that emanated from my right-neck upward across the right-side of my head. I was worried about having a stroke or something so got all sorts of tests done, including an MRI, which found not much--only a minor degenerative disk in my neck--which I just accepted as the cause. Fast forward to when I was ~45 and I was hit with shingles in the EXACT place that this sensation would travel--I ended up with a very painful case of shingles that felt like the right-side of my head had been set on fire, and had the blistering and pain that ran along the exact path of nerves that I had felt this sensation travel along for the prior 10-15 years. For me, that time period was a shingles pre-cursor, and all those feelings were likely inflammation in my nerves. Needless to say I've not had this since getting my shingles vaccines at 50.  Your situation could very well be something else, but I just wanted to mention this possibility because your symptoms sound similar to what I experienced. I'm not sure if you're in the age range to get a shingles vaccine, but it may be something to consider.
